And how they “discovered” the following, but it was taken from Indigenous Knowledge systems:

- Democracy - appropriated from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy

- Hierarchy of Needs - it places cultural propriety at the top, not the self. Appropriated from the Blackfoot People

- Restorative Justice – Indigenous justice systems

- Holistic Education – Indigenous pedagogy

- Community-Based Childcare – Indigenous kinship systems

- Food Sovereignty – Indigenous agricultural systems

- Fire Ecology – Indigenous burning practices

- Trauma-Informed Care – Indigenous healing traditions

- Plant Pharmacology – Indigenous medicine systems

- Gift Economy – Indigenous trade practices

- Bathing

Anything else I’m missing? I know there’s more...

An incredible find from a store running out of a series of abandoned airplane hangars: Lois’s summer travel journals ranging from the late 1970s through the 1990s. She almost exclusively took bus tours and, as an elementary school teacher, tended to favor historical locations. These albums contain everything from her bus passes and bills, to brochures and menus, to pictures of anything she felt was important (including photos each bus driver labeled with their name).

Here is just one of her documented experiences: the tour bus guide on this particular trip, Audrey, staged a hijacking as well as her own arrest for drug smuggling. Lois doesn’t explain how she felt about the gag beyond remarking that it “seemed so real”.

Transcription:

Saturday-- August 12, 1988--

Up at 7:30 and had bags out at 8:30 and ready to leave Nashville.

We went to Fountains Square where we were to do some shopping and have lunch and leave at 1:00. What a boomer? The shopping center was dead. No real good place to shop or eat. It was a beautiful place built on the water front, but no place for tourists to shop. They did have plaques of the Country Music Stars handprints. We had to wait 1 hour for the driver to come back and get us. Some people were very upset-- OH, Well.

We left there and went back to Nashville. We ate at Shoney’s, across the street on Music City Row. We had 2 hrs. so some of us ate the breakfast buffet, because we had not eaten breakfast. That was quick, so we had 1 ½ hrs. to shop. Really enjoyed that. Went in or by some of the shops-- Ernest Tubbs Record Shop, Hank Williams Shop and Museum, Elvis Presley’s Shop, Conway Twitties’ Shop, Alabama’s Shop and several gift and souvenir shops.

Left there at 1 P.M. on the way back toward home.

Came back down Interstate 40, past the Central State Time Zone. (Turned our watches up an hour.) Headed on toward Morristown. The driver made a wrong turn and stopped to call for directions. Made a rest stop along the way and then made the turn near the Ramada Inn where we were to stay. We heard this siren and was pulled over by the Sheriff. We wondered what had happened. When the Sheriff and his Deputy got on the bus, they had a “Wanted Poster” of our escort (Audrey ***). She was wanted for smuggling drugs and disorderly conduct.

They looked and acted so real that we thought something had really happened. They had toy guns and the Sheriff took Audrey to the Patrol Car and the Deputy ordered the driver to drive down the road. When we got around the bend, she (the Deputy) told him to pull into the Park. There the Ramada Inn Staff had set up a “Welcome” snack for us. Punch, dip, chips, vegetables and crackers.

It was all a gag, but it seemed so real.

We then went on to the Ramada in for dinner and the night. The meal was-- Clam Chowder, salad bar, marinated chicken breasts, baked potato, rolls and tea. Pie for dessert, but I didn’t get any. I was too full.

Went into the lobby and one of the ladies played the piano and we all sat around for a while and then retired to our rooms. Watched Nashville on TV. Took a shower and got ready for bed.
